The influence of supplemental Met levels ranging from 413 to 556 mg per hen per d (mg/HD) on liquid egg component yield, composition, and functionality was examined in mature layers (29 wk of age). Egg weight, component yield, solids, and CP content of albumen and yolk were determined. Texture profile analysis, feed ingredient functionality testing, and PAGE were conducted to determine whether ...

Congenital hypothyroidism (CH) is caused by thyroid hormone deficiency present at birth. DUOXA2 (dual oxidase maturation factor 2) is one of the prerequisites for thyroid hormone synthesis. The present study explored the novel mutations of DUOXA2 in CH patients. Genomic DNA was extracted from peripheral blood of 47 unrelated CH patients, their family members and 100 healthy controls. All 6 exon...

The BCR protein is involved in the inhibition of oncogenic activity of the Bcr-Abl oncoprotein. This inhibition is believed to be the result of binding to the SH2 domain of Bcr-Abl in a non-phosphotyrosine-dependent manner. We showed that the Arg to Leu mutation in the Phe-Leu-Val-Arg-Glu-Ser (FLVRES) sequence of the SH2 domain, known to interfere with phosphotyrosine sequence binding, did not ...

PURPOSE The aim of this study was to investigate the influence of variations in fatty liver on the ultrasonographic detection of focal liver lesions. METHODS A total of 229 patients with varying degrees of fatty liver and focal liver lesions and 200 patients with focal liver lesions but no fatty liver were randomly selected for inclusion in groups I and II, respectively. Findings of focal liv...
